Statement:

My recent work finds its inspiration in the architecture of industrial buildings in the urban landscape.

For many years, I had a studio in an old warehouse district and noticed the neighborhood’s rapid development. As new glass towers replaced the old buildings, my appreciation for the industrial architecture of the past grew stronger.

The architectural details, like the patterns of the brickwork, rusted doors, and old textured walls, became focal points in my work.

Patterns and textures have always been themes in my work, and they continue in my new oil pastel drawings.
